Impact Wrestling starts out with a video package concentrating on the Bound for Glory Series. It shows the 6 matches that went on last week. Magnus is on top of the leader board. The video switches to Bully Ray and Hulk Hogan. Hulk announces that Ray and Brooke are done, but Ray doesn’t think so. Main Event Mafia is coming back as Sting and Kurt Angle are the current members. Who else will join?
The camera shows the arena and the crowd is on their feet. They are cheering. Music plays and here comes the Main Event Mafia music! Sting comes out and walks down the ramp. Sting gets in the ring and grabs a mic. He does his “Woooo!” He says he told Bully Ray that the Main Event Mafia will rise and grow. He promised Ray that what he experienced last week is just a touch of what is in store for him. He went to the cornerstone of the original MEM and that is Kurt Angle! Kurt comes out with the MEM music. He has a suit on and makes his way to the ring. Two guys with suits stand together in the ring. Sting points to Kurt as the crowd cheers. Sting hands the mic to Kurt. Kurt says they are the original MEM members from nearly 4 years ago. The whole concept of the group was that each member had to be a former World Champion. They fought for power and for the title. They did whatever they want and no one could stop them. Sadly, that seems to be Aces & 8s. They stepped it up to a whole new level. They are more violent than any other group. Also, because of them, Sting can’t fight for the World Title again. Also, because of them, Kurt is out of the BFG Series. Kurt turns to Sting and says they are family and they stick together. This is a new MEM. Kurt goes on to say that they are both Hall of Famers. They have two goals. The first is to destroy Aces and the next one is to make sure Ray is not the champion anymore. They are going to fight fire with fire and we will see another member revealed tonight! Their music hits and the crowd pops. Some bow down to the two stars. They get out of the ring and walk up the ramp.

Bully Ray tells Chris to relax as he doesn’t want to get that knee hurt again. Ray wishes Chris for the best tonight and tells him to do the right thing. The right thing is to not cash in his title to fight Bully Ray for the TNA World Title. Chris can do his high flying stuff, but Ray is champion and a bad person. He doesn’t want to get involved with this bad person. Ken and Doc let him go. Chris is out of the trailer. Bully says he got the message.
